•What/who are the “media?” Go beyond traditional press release; create your own news operation

•Social media considerations – what outlets should your agency utilize; how to optimize those platforms

•Building a strong social media profile/presence can help during crisis or disaster when you must share information with your community

Cooperation = Mutual Respect?

•Media is a resource to inform the public

• First Responders should encourage an open, transparent and responsive relationship with the media

• Image/Public perception is shaped by employees and incidents

The Public’s Right to Know

•The public gets its news from TV, Internet, Social Media, Radio, Newspapers, Magazines, Tabloids

•The public’s impression of first responders comes from what they see, hear and read

What Twitter Can and Cannot Do

Twitter can be used to keep news media informed, as well as the interested public. This also works well if police chiefs and other officials refer to such a channel during press conferences as being the official news source as happened with that incident. In this way micro‐blogging can help automate the creation of news to some degree, and public outreach.
